the cultures of the Member States, while

common heritage to the fore”.

among peoples” (Florence, January 2017)

• Davos Declaration: European Ministers of Culture call for a policy
of high-quality Baukultur (January 2018)
• European Commission: New European Agenda for Culture (May

The “cultural” momentum
Education and culture are the key to the future – both for the individual as well as for our Union as a whole.
It is how we turn circumstance into opportunity, how we turn mirrors into windows and how we give roots to what it means to be 'European', in all its diversity…. we must seize the opportunity and make sure education and culture are the drivers for job creation, economic growth, social fairness and ultimately unity.
(President Juncker, 14 November 2017)

The Commission proposes an ambitious budget of 1.85 billion EURO. This figure corresponds approximately to an increase of 27 % in comparison to the current programme (+ 35% for the Culture part alone).

European innovation ecosystems: Connecting with regional and national innovation actors
and supporting the implementation of joint cross-border innovation programmes by Member
States and associated countries, from the enhancement of soft skills for innovation to research
and innovation actions, to boost the effectiveness of the European innovation system. This will
complement the ERDF support for innovation eco-systems and interregional partnerships
around smart specialisation topics.
• The new InvestEU programme: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/sites/beta-political/files/budget-may2018-investeu-regulation_en.pdf
The InvestEU Programme should also contribute to the support of European culture and
creativity. The InvestEU Fund should operate under four policy windows, mirroring the key
Union policy priorities, namely sustainable infrastructure; research, innovation and
digitisation: SMEs; and social investment and skills. It will also support cultural activities
with a social goal.
• The new Digital Europe Programme https://ec.europa.eu/commission/sites/beta-political/files/budget-june2018-digital-europe-annex_en.pdf
Concerning education and culture, it will provide creators and creative industry in Europe with access to latest digital technologies from AI to advanced computing.

new visions for • an inclusive and innovative society

Fully involve stakeholders and creators in the cultural and creative sectors for innovative place-bound development
Develop creative, innovative tools to integrate the local populations
Facilitate access to empty non-used spaces and support bottom-up approaches for creative innovation initiatives
Develop CCS support structures as hubs for international innovation knowledge transfer and mobility
Public bodies should take on a pioneering role in cross-sectoral innovation and the integration of cultural and creative sectors
Public bodies should exchange more knowledge on the added value of cultural and creative sectors’ know-how and deepen insight into good practices https://ec.europa.eu/culture/library_en https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/5d33c8a7-2e56-11e8-b5fe-01aa75ed71a1/language-en/format-PDF/source-68820857

Strategies and policies. EU Member States are responsible for their own culture-sector policies. The role of the European Commission is to help them address the challenges they all face: the impact of the digital shift, changing models of cultural governance, and the need to promote innovation in the cultural and creative sectors.
